SUAMICO, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Big cat, cougar, mountain lion, puma… whatever name you like to call it, it appears the Suamico Police Department is trying to verify accounts of what people say they saw.
Police say, Friday night around 9, multiple people called saying they saw a mountain lion near Veterans Avenue between County Highway B and Norfield Road.
“These sightings were not confirmed by police or the DNR,” a Facebook post reads on the department’s page.
Police are asking for more information or photographs of the cougar.
The post goes on to say, “Mountain lion sightings are rare in our area, but are not completely surprising. Most sightings can be attributed to other wildlife and not an actual cougar themselves. Mountain lion attacks are also extremely rare and have not been documented in our area.”
Suamico police can be reached by calling 920-391-7450.
